Defensive Fabric Sanitizer™ is a concentrated, ready-to-use liquid fabric sanitizer. Used during final rinse cycle, Fabric Sanitizer™ leaves behind a finish that is both self-sanitizing and bacteriostatic. Under conditions of contamination, Fabric Sanitizer™ continually eliminates 99.9% of infectious bacteria.

Medical textiles begin the recontamination process virtually the instant they are removed from the washer. They are handled by employees, placed into potentially contaminated carts, handled by workers wearing contaminated garments, staged in hallways where patients roam – and finally put into service where they will be contaminated with bodily fluids and every imaginable form of bacteria, virus and spore.

In this contaminated state they will be collected – by hand. Frequently stored temporarily in hallways, elevators, storage rooms… and then ultimately transferred back into the laundry – by hand. The opportunity for cross-contamination is greatest here – not in the washwheel. You need protection at the use-sites!

It has long been known that the use of an EPA Registered textile sanitizer with residual, self-sanitizing capabilities will create a Zone of Inhibition1 on the surface of the fabric. This will kill 99.9% (at minimum) of newly acquired bacteria. Using a product like this, in addition to good and hygienic laundering practices, will insure that you are not only getting clean textiles out of the dryer but that you are significantly reducing the incidence of cross-contamination for patients, visitors and employees, during the use-cycle of these textiles.

Unlike bleach – which stops working after textiles are removed from the wash, Fabric Sanitizer™ remains active on the textile surface, continuing to aid in the prevention of crosscontamination from both Gram Negative bacteria (ie. Klebsiella pneumonia) and Gram Positive bacteria (ie. Staph – a major cause of hospital acquired (nosocomial) and Community Acquired infections), providing protection throughout the use cycle of uniforms, linens and other textiles.
